What we will do is: Once you register you will be notified of upcoming rides.  You'll be invited to evening rides where we stroll through amazingly quiet and beautiful places and even sometime go to dinner as a group. 

You'll be notified and reminded about rides in Galveston, Houston and other places that we enjoy as a group.  You'll learn about the MS-150?  Don't know what that is, keep reading this site.

You'll meet new friends, be invited to lunchs, Bar-B-Ques, Parties and more.  You'll find out what's going on in Austin to make cycling in Texas Better.

You meet craftsmen, and madmen. Democrats, Republicans, tree huggers and oil field workers. You'll meet news reporters, maybe even get you're picture in the paper. You'll meet kids, and old people and see them as you've never seen them before. 

You'll sweat and you'll laugh, and sometimes you'll get really pissed off when you see some of the stupid stuff we do. 

You get some excercise, probably end up buying a new bike or at least you'll appreciate the one you already have a whole lot more.

We'll teach you about bicycle safety, but usually after an accident.  You'll make friends that will stop by your house or your job, just cause they are in the neighborhood and wanted to say hi.

If you're in sales, well, you might just sell something. You'll see parts of Beaumont, Lumberton, Fannette, Vidor, Mauriceville, Galveston, Houston, Woodville and other places that you never knew existed.

You'll take group trips on chartered busses to events like the Moonlight Madness in Houston where you'll hang out with about 4000 of your closest friends while cycling through downtown with police escort. 

You'll get rained on, and bitten by mosquitoes and love every minute of it. We'll ask you to voice your support of cycling in our area political leaders, and anyone else that will listen.

We might even write the letters for you...To show your support of  bicycle trails in Southeast Texas. 

You'll learn about TXDOT (the Texas Department of Transporation) and how your one small voice could have a huge impact on cycling right here in our community in the not too distant future.

You'll learn about the National Parks Service and the vital role they play in creating a bicycle friendly future for Southeast Texas.
